Perry would be 100 times better president than Newt.
And you are correct if Perry announces his VP preference, of West or Palin or Rubio, he would indeed surge.
Had Perry not been fanatical about his opposition to fence, e-verify and other enforcement, supporting tax money to illegals and accused us heartless and racists, I would agree with you.
But he did these. Proudly.
He clearly feels strongly about illegals.
Doubt it. They're both birds of a feather, though Newt does have a nice mouth on him.
